Northmoreland Lake, Westmoreland County, was surveyed by
Fish and Boat Commission biologists during April. The study was conducted using three trap net sets and
two night electrofishing runs. Besides stocked trout, Northmoreland Lake
provides anglers with panfishing opportunities. Good crappie and bluegill populations
were observed, with quality-size fish
present.

Largemouth bass from 7 to 10 inches in length dominated the bass
population. The number of legal size (12 inches or larger) bass was low, but the
total number of bass collected was good. The total number of bullheads and white
suckers was low, but quality size fish were present.
